“Dt: the rear passenger seat belt twisted around the child's abdomen and would not release. Every time the child moved it clicked tighter. The child had to be cut out of the seat belt. There were no problems with the seat belt before.”
NHTSA complaint #10122487, filed 2005-09, 27,700 miles“There are two recalls on our call for the srs and airbags but when we brought it in there were no parts available, so they are unable to fix the problem. It is our only car so we just have to keep driving it with these potential dangers to ourselves and other drivers on the road.”
